Course overview

Finance is the study of funds management, which includes saving and lending money.

Important terms in the field are the concepts of the time value of money, and risk.

"Hi, my name is Mandy , and I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Civil Engineering, before shifting into a hedge fund," Mandy remarked.

After achieving exceptional returns, Mandy was able to start her own fund with a capitalization of $500m, Mandycap.

This is the story of how Mandy did it.

Please note: Mandy is a fictional character, and is apart of the storyline that is adopted for pedagogical purposes for Mr. Shum's Classroom.

"As ASIC states: The combination of high returns and low risk does not exist," Mandy remarked.

"If it did exist, by the efficient-market hypothesis, returns in excess of average market returns will be eliminated," Jamie replied.
